MIDDLEBORO - The school committee will meet on Thursday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m., in the John T. Nichols Middle School, 112 Tiger Drive, to discuss ballot question number 4 on the legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana.

School Committee member Brian Giovanoni informed selectmen during their weekly meeting this week that the discussion will take place and could result in a possible vote of the board whether they support the ballot question or not.

Giovanoni said discussion on ballot question number 4 was placed on the agenda at the request of a resident who asked the school committee to review the question and take a vote.

The school committee previously took a vote not to support ballot question number 2 on Charter School Expansion said Giovanoni but noted that the vote did not indicate that the committee was against charter schools. Giovanoni said he supports Charter Schools but objected to the wording of the ballot question.
